Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6000

The SKF 6000 deep groove ball bearing, measuring 10x26x8 mm, offers compact dimensions and enhanced running accuracy for precision rotating shafts in mechanical engineering.

The 6000 deep groove ball bearing is a versatile, single-row radial ball bearing for shafts with a diameter of 10 mm. As an open rolling bearing without integrated sealing rings, it is primarily suitable for designs in which an existing housing provides the seal or a lubricating oil circuit supplies the component. Manufactured from standard roller bearing steel 100Cr6, the component primarily accommodates radial forces as well as moderate axial loads in both directions.

In which applications is the 6000 deep-groove ball bearing used?

This design is primarily used in compact assemblies that require a small installation space and low-friction operation. As there are no contact sealing discs, no friction losses occur at the sealing lips, which keeps the starting torque low. Designs with external housing seals or a continuous lubricant supply utilise the dimensions 10 × 26 × 8 mm for the precise guidance of rotating shafts.

What are the advantages of P6 dimensional accuracy and P5 running accuracy?

This bearing is manufactured to tighter production tolerances than the basic tolerance class. Dimensional accuracy to class P6 reduces deviations in both the bore and the outer diameter, which promotes a precise fit on the shaft and in the housing. Running accuracy to class P5 reduces the radial and axial runout of the rotating inner ring. In combination with standard radial bearing clearance and the sheet steel cage, this design ensures low-vibration operation at temperatures ranging from -20 to +120 degrees.
